World War Two Causes

General Information


Old problems that were unsolved from World War One led to World War Two. Leaders of different countries took advantage of these problems just so that they could rule, at the same time have power and expand their territory. Also so that they can use their resources to make their weapons and bombs.

FOREIGN COUNTRIES:

Another cause was that Germany, Italy, and Japan wanted more land. One reason why the war started was because Hitler wanted to conquer Europe and the world, along with his huge party called the German Nazis. external image naziflag.gif7) Another reason was because he wanted to expand his land and unite German people.

(2 Mainly World War two was caused by the German invasion of Poland.

(3 Because the people of Germany loved him, they allowed Hitler to become a dictator, therefore he had the power to use his crazy beliefs on world conquer and people who were not German were basically scum to him.

(4 Also, Hitler believed that people who did not have blue eyes, blond hair, and were not German should be slaughtered and thrown away, which led him, Adolf Hitler, to make concentration camps, where prisoners had to work and when they were "used up" the weary slaves were thrown into a vat and force to breathe a gas that messed up the human body and they died.

In 1934 Adolf Hitler began secretly building an army and weapons. About a year later he increased the size of his army. Britain and France knew what Hitler was doing but they didn't want to do anything, because Britain and France didn't want to have another war. In 1936 Hitler ordered his army to enter the Rhineland, but this German army was very weak and they could easily be defeated8)


Hitler's next step was to take back the land that was taken away from Germany. german troops entered austria. the leader of Austria was forced to hold a vote asking people if they wanted to be part of Germany or not. The votes were 99% of the people wanted Anschluss(union with germany) 9)

Hitler's next target was to invade Poland. but Britain and France promised that if Hitler invaded poland then they would attack him and not let him in. People believed that if Hitler started a war between him and Britain and France he wouldn't take over poland. But those people were wrong Hitler took over Poland and he got the land he needed on September 1st 1939.9)
